"Basically, all you have to do is let the bustling life of nature have an effect on you and you'll be inspired," says Lisa Biris. Her objects reflect mushrooms, seed pods, corals, even feathers, scales, wood and much more. An essential principle in her work, apart from the play with contrasts, is the creation of the illusion of supposed movement through the texture of her natural objects. This is designed to deceive the eye, giving a rock-hard surface the appearance of a billowy, soft natural find.

Lisa Biri's work focus well explained:
Glaze is a glass-like layer which, from a purely functional point of view, is mainly used to provide the porous shards underneath (term for a fired ceramic mass) with a waterproof, dense coating.
Thanks to its modern technology, the electrically powered kiln is a relatively safe firing method that can be used to fire at high temperatures.
Designation for a ceramic material made of feldspar, kaolin and quartz, with dense, light-coloured to white shards (term for a fired ceramic mass)
Designation for ceramics which, with or without glaze after the firing process above 1200° C, has a hard, solid and dense body (term for a fired ceramic mass).
In the context of the „Internationalen Keramiktage Oldenburg“ , the term "sculpture/object" refers to ceramics that are not subject to any function.
